Summer is here and the beach is calling, but is your stomach spoiling all the fun? Here are some simple ways to beat the bulge…
1 Do not live on bread alone
Eating wheat-based products is almost certain to lead to bloating. Wheat is full of fiber, which is a bulking agent, good for helping you feel full, but not great if you’re hoping to look sexy in a bikini. Limiting foods like bread and pasta (unless you do a lot of cardio) can help get rid of that bloated feeling and trim your waistline in the process. Try replacing heavy bread with tortilla wraps or put your sandwich filling on a plate, add some lettuce and call it a salad.
2 Start doing Pilates
Pilates is hands down one of the best ways to flatten your stomach because it works on strengthening your “core,” which is another word for the transverse abdominis muscle. This muscle is attached around your stomach and back acting like a corset, pulling your stomach in. By working this area with Pilates, you will not only notice increased stability, but this band of muscles will contract your gut better than any pair of Spanx.
3 Realize yourself
If you want to get lean, then consuming more energy than you burn isn’t going to help, so watching your weight is key when it comes to the spare tire factor. But losing weight is not easy for everyone. If you need to lose more than 10 pounds, joining a weight management group like Weight Watchers (we love your new online service, it’s so easy) or joining a friend to set some goals together can be a great incentive and motivation. It’s not easy, but it can be done, so stay positive.
4 meditate
Hmm, how is sitting still for an hour going to slim down your belly? Well, by getting in touch with your inner Self, miracles really can happen, and by feeling happier overall, the likelihood of overeating is reduced (not decreased, unfortunately!). So while it may take years for your pants to feel looser, we highly recommend meditation.
5 The Creak
Eating raw vegetables as a snack is a brilliant way to lose some extra weight. If you’re used to having cookies around 10am, try cutting some raw carrot into sticks and eating that instead. Sure, it might not sound as appetizing as a handful of Oreos, but if you can get used to replacing just one of your daily snacks with raw vegetables, you’ll be on your way to a smaller stomach in no time.
6 One, two, three
The legs, buttocks, and buttocks are problem areas for most women, and to be honest, it’s hard to trim one area in isolation. The benefit of trifactor is that if you want to lose weight around the waist, you will likely reduce other areas as well. The best way to get fit and start feeling better is to walk at least 10,000 steps a day. That becomes 8 kilometers or 5 miles, which sounds like a lot, but by breaking it down into 2km sets and starting with that (daily) until you can go the distance, it will make a day at the beach feel like a Walk through the park .
7 Lose the alcohol
This includes simple science: Alcohol causes the body to retain water in the cells, while at the same time turning off the antidiuretic hormone that leaves you wanting to urinate frequently. So while you’re storing water in your cells, you’re simultaneously expelling nutrient-filled urine, leaving you full of toxins and bloating not just your stomach, but your eyelids and face as well. Which is not so good.
8 Sit down and listen
You were probably wondering when we would get to do 1000 crunches a day. But really, crunches alone won’t do much for your abdomen without following a healthy eating plan and including regular cardio. But we’re not talking about abs. It’s all about eating when you’re already full. Aside from leaving you wracked with guilt and feeling horrible about having that second helping, or having that dessert when you’d already demolished a roast dinner plus the main course; The negative effect of eating beyond your capacity will eventually expand your stomach and intestines and can lead to numerous health problems. So before you give in again, sit down and listen to the inner voice that wants a flat stomach.
9 Let’s spin again
Dancing is a fantastic all-around way to get in shape so definitely put it on your list, but the actual motion of turning from side to side i.e. going from facing right to facing left while keeping your hips stationary It’s a great way. To tone and trim the waist area. It’s fun and burns fat at the same time!
10A royal flush
A distended intestine is often caused by parasites in the intestine. Colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation is a natural means of cleansing the colon. As long as you see a qualified and experienced doctor, this can be a rewarding way to improve your gut health and reduce the size of your gut. By eliminating parasites and supporting your body’s own natural peristalsis (the movement needed to help you expel waste), colon therapy can also make you feel lighter, happier and healthier. Just don’t try it at home.
